Toronto Region Board of Trade needed a graphics package for their annual dinner, including a show opener for the main event, a recap of the event with title cards for interviewees, and an ending animation.

Once the client provided the logo for this year’s edition, I jumped into designing some frames with the title of the event in mind. I used a type-heavy design, using the text as masks for footage showing different business sectors resembling the logo, supported by an ever-changing grid and the transition from general to specific markets, from a single path to a connected world. With this direction approved, I decided to stay away from the traditional lower thirds and created a more graphic-heavy treatment for the title cards, integrating the footage with the frame and colours. The client decided to tone these down for the final delivery.
